The Alliaiif, tiasette (Atchison, Kan ) says: “The .Associated Press dispatcher from day to day lmvo Alliance predicted dire tilings in store for tho as a re¬ sult from quarrels that were predicted to come off at the national meeting in Flor¬ ida. The meeting has passed off quietly, however, and the best of feeling between all sections of the country still exists.

The rapid education of the people concerning: economic questions of national im portance iu proof of the substantial foundation upon which such edu cation rests. No flue spun theory could or assumption brought of false f A,{-trine have about this ';eneral desire for information and almost miver sal real effort nature at exposed r-search and without the whol^ ha|- v ng irnpo- its sition held up to ridicule and abandoned, Such has been the fate and w ill ot utiune to be the ultimate end of all economic teachings not based upon i uth and jus tice. t be demands of the dllia-m e have been subjected to the mo.it searching scrutiny and rigid analysis. They have stood and criticism, the merci and ess have onslaught of ridicule come out >f this trying ordeal brighter, stronger ankl with a firmer hold upon the intelligent*! of the people than ever. 1 hey stand to-Ray as au exponent of ult mate truth unrivalled by any economic proposition that has challenged public attention during the past quarter of a century. All objections to these demands have been met in a calculated to convince those seeking the truth, and to confoumS others attempting to confuse and uiislead. I he lessons of the past should not go unheeded. This urgent demand for Alliance education should be met by Alliance newspapers, speakers and lecturers with a determination to furnish the people with the information application they desire. To do this will require close wlio and constant study. Those would be leaders must be teachers, and tho=e who teach mupt be informed. The day for newspaper slush atid nonsense has and passed, and the time for facts, reasons proper deductions has come.
